React-native-firebase: [Android] 🔥 Native crash if a push notification has been received

[dmitryusikriseapps]

Issue

Hi there. Let me describe the problem.
I am using react-native-firebase and firebase console in order to send push notifications.
But there is the issue for Android.
If the application is killed and a push notification is being received the native crash is being presented.

[mikehardy]

There are a few of these, have you checked the existing issues?
Does this still happen if you disable Hermes and use JSC?

[dmitryusikriseapps]

@mikehardy i've checked the similar issues, but there is only a similar issue for v. 5x.
Yes, I also tried to disable Hermes and the issue was the same

[dmitryusikriseapps]

@mikehardy a few more details:
1) I am using topics in order to filter push notifications
2) I was able to catch the crash if I sent a message to ios and android devices, without topics, and with some topic

[dmitryusikriseapps]

@mikehardy I can't remember the similar crash on the version < 6

[mikehardy]

Please post the exact JSON sent via the admin SDK (but minus any API or device tokens!) so we can try to reproduce

[dmitryusikriseapps]

@mikehardy you mean google-services.json ?
i don't use any 3rd party backend and send the notifications directly through firebase console

[mikehardy]

No I mean the JSON that you are sending - for messaging troubleshooting the firebase console is ineffective, use the firebase admin jdk via node, so that you can precisely control the JSON being sent and know that you are 1) getting reproducible payloads sent and 2) can share the payload you are sending with others.

As mentioned above though, of course do not include the API keys or device tokens, for security reasons - when reproducing issues we can use our own API keys and device tokens

[dmitryusikriseapps]

@mikehardy how and where could I do it?

[mikehardy]

use the firebase admin jdk via node, so that you can precisely control the JSON being sent

@dmitryusikriseapps exactly like that - it is well documented by google

[imcrainjames]

@dmitryusikriseapps I'm not sure if this will help, but I was facing a similar issue, and the following seems to have resolved it for me:

1. Make sure your emulator has Google Play
2. Remove <service> from AndroidManifest.xml
3. Place onMessage in it's own useEffect

For me, the most helpful thing was making sure my emulator was running Google Play. I needed to spin up a new one, but I found it mentioned in the Send a Test Message section of the Firebase Docs.

Also, in trying to figure out why I could receive messages on iOS, _but not Android_, I started going through the Firebase Docs for Receive Messages and saw this about editing the app manifest. So I added that <service> code, but it turns out, _I didn't need it. In fact, it was ultimately causing issues for me._

Finally, I had the onMessage logic in the same useEffect as onNotificationOpenedApp and getInitialNotification. For some reason, this would crash my app. I would briefly see the alert generated (as suggested in the RNF docs), but then the app would crash. Putting onMessage in it's own useEffect seems to have done the trick.

Hope this helps...

Ps - shout out to @mikehardy for all the hard work 💪, RNF is a game changer!

2. Remove <service> from AndroidManifest.xml

It`s working for me

it's does not affect any changes and app crash when open notification

The solution for me was to implement setBackgroundMessageHandler at the level where you're registering the app. I passed an empty Promise.resolve since I'm not performing any tasks in the background. It appears that when a notification is triggered whilst the app is not running (completely quit) it attempts to run a headless task so if a handler is not set it throws.

messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler(() => Promise.resolve());

[mikehardy]

That is really unexpected @shaddeen but I'm not sure I've ever tested that case. I have a handler set in my app for that hook so I would not have seen the "negative test" of no handler. I'll mark this for review and the test I need to try to reproduce is to send what exactly to my app on android with no handler set? Do you have a clean JSON that you can share which you post to the REST API so I could know I'm sending the same cloud message contents? Of course remove your API key and device token, but this is the best way to share reproductions with cloud messages so we use the same JSON

[shaddeen]

@mikehardy To summarise:

• No background handler set
• Make sure app has been quit
• Send a noisy notification to the device
• Open via notification
• Observe crash

I'll try and get that json for you asap.

Remove the below code from the AndroidManifest.xml

<service android:name="io.invertase.firebase.messaging.RNFirebaseMessagingService">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />

You should have nothing in your AndroidManifest.xml to remove if you followed the v5 to v6 migration guide: https://rnfirebase.io/migrating-to-v6#removing-from-android-manifest

Add

<receiver android:name="io.invertase.firebase.notifications.RNFirebaseNotificationReceiver"></receiver>
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:exported="true"  android:name="io.invertase.firebase.notifications.RNFirebaseNotificationsRebootReceiver"></receiver>

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64195649/app-crashes-after-receiving-notification-using-react-native-firebase-messaging/64206973#64206973

This is terrible advice. If you do that you will not receive anything as you no longer have an intent filter.

Better would be to open a fresh issue, with a reproduction based on current stable versions, and a stack trace from adb logcat.

This issue is not attracting high quality information and is I believe mixed among several different things now.

I am going to close it.

Anyone suffering a native crash please follow the issue template and provide a stack trace from adb logcat based on current versions and ideally from a clean demonstration app built with https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh
